1
Glenfarclas 105
dry, dried orange peel and old wood, not the raisin-caramel thing people expect from sherry cask (cask strength, add your own water)
2
Aberlour A'bunadh
3
GlenDronach 15 Revival
4
GlenDronach 18 Allardice
this is the one that changed my mind about sherry casks. not just sweetness, actual structure underneath it
5
Mortlach 16 Distiller's Dram
6
Tamdhu Batch Strength
underrated, Tamdhu doesn't get talked about nearly enough for what's in the glass
7
Benromach 10
8
Glenfarclas 25
pricier but worth saving for once a year
9
The Macallan 12 Sherry Oak
fine whisky. gets talked about like it invented sherry cask, it didn't, and it's sweeter than half this list
10
Craigellachie 13
11
Aberlour A'bunadh Alba
